If you’re referring to what is the purpose of the platform, I can provide some feedback as someone who has experience in both industry and academia. Ripe Atlas is _fundamental_ to research. No other platform offers the same level of coverage in terms of diversity and number of vantage points, as well as real-time results. Plus, it's free of charge. Without it, many advancements in DNS, NTP, and routing wouldn't have been possible. There are numerous academic papers and several RFCs that have used RIPE Atlas, achievements that wouldn’t have been possible without it. /giovane
